mortality/aging
• mutant mice die at birth, indicating partial rescue of the embryonic lethality observed in Rb1tm1Tyj homozygotes at E13.5-E14.5

muscle
• at E16.5-P0, mutant mice display abnormal myogenesis, with shorter myotubes relative to control mice
• strikingly, when present, mutant myotubes are widely dispersed, and contain enlarged nuclei that are 2-4 times longer than normal
• the number of elongated nuclei increases with time, approaching ~2% and >10% of the myotomal nuclei at E17.5 and E18.5, respectively
• at E17.5, BrdU staining indicates that mutant giant nuclei continue to actively synthesize DNA within myotubes, at a stage when DNA synthesis would have normally ceased
• at E16.5-E18.5, TUNEL analysis indicates a significant increase of apoptotic nuclei in mutant skeletal muscles prior to myoblast fusion
• in contrast, no significant increase in apoptosis is noted in mutant cardiac muscles
• at E17.5, the myofibrils of mutant limb and tongue muscles are shorter and less abundant, although individual sarcomeric units appear intact
• at birth, mutants exhibit reduced skeletal muscle mass
• at E16.5-P0, mutant mice display reduced muscle fiber density in axial, tongue, and limb muscles

behavior/neurological
• at E16.5 and P0, mutants display a typical hunchback posture
• however, in contrast to Rb1tm1Tyj homozygotes, the perichondrium appears normal at E13.5
• at birth, mutants fail to move

skeleton
• at E18.5, mutant mice lack a normal cervical curvature
• however, bones are present and normal in shape

vision/eye
• at birth, mutant mice exhibit impaired lens development
• at E17.5-P0, mutant mice display significant degeneration of the lens fibers

cellular
• in addition to aberrant cochlear and vestibular hair cell proliferation, E18.5 mutant mice exhibit multinucleated and enlarged hair cells in the inner ear sensory epithelia
• unlike control mice where cells of the organ of Corti and almost all cells of the greater epithelial ridge are postmitotic at E18.5, mutants show ectopic mitoses in the greater epithelial ridge and the region of cochlear inner and outer HCs
• in addition, high numbers of mitotic vestibular hair cells are detected in mutant utricular, saccular, and ampullary sensory epithelia
• at E16.5-E18.5, TUNEL analysis indicates a significant increase in apoptotic nuclei in mutant axial and tongue muscles (J:37145)
• at E17.5 and E18.5, supernumerary cochlear and vestibular HC production is partially compensated by increased apoptosis in mutant inner ear sensory epithelia (J:98518)

hematopoietic system
• in contrast to Rb1tm1Tyj homozygotes which fail to undergo enucleation of red blood cells, partially rescued mutant mice display only a slight delay in enucleation, with ~2-4% nucleated red blood cells present at E18.5

nervous system
N

• at E17.5 and E18.5, mutants exhibit a hyperplastic vestibular sensory epithelium due to overproduction of HCs
• HCs are abnormally intermixed with supporting cells in the middle layers while the basal part of the epithelium is filled with supernumerary HCs
• some vestibular HCs are mislocated through the basal lamina into the mesenchyme
• a distinct pathology, including multinucleated and enlarged HCs, apoptosis, and infiltration of HCs into the mesenchyme is observed
• at E17.5 and E18.5, mutant mice exhibit excessive proliferation of differentiating vestibular HCs
